Genuine
We are a Lappish family by our roots. For decades, we have nurtured and practiced the way of life we have learned from our ancestors. We have preserved traditional ways of doing everyday things, building and gathering food. We have a way of life in symbiosis with the surrounding nature through berry picking, hunting, herb picking, mushroom picking and fishing which our guests can experience through our designed programmes. We want to offer our own naturally sourced ingredients on the table in an environment that exudes tradition and authentic Lappish life.

Hello! Nice to meet you!
We are a Lappish family with roots deep in the heart of Lapland. Over the decades, our family has created a way of life based on the eight seasons of Lapland, respecting traditions and sensitive surrounding nature. The lessons and knowledge of our ancestors have come with us and are reflected still in the way we live our lives.
Our home village for the past decades has been Siikakämä. A small village located on the outskirts of Rovaniemi. Our home is located on the northern shore of a beautiful siikakämä lake and acts as a centre of services that we provide to you.
Over the years we have built cabins in the middle of the private wilderness in the most stunning locations without neighbours, light pollution and the hustle and bustle of the city. Our location gives us the unique privilege to offer our guests an authentic lappish wilderness and local lifestyle experiences like no other.
